The popular Maggie Moo’s ice cream shop in Preakness shopping center has officially closed January 27.

Maggie Moo’s has been a staple in Preakness for a very long time and its closing was a shock to everyone. The close was unexpected, and most likely due to slow business during the winter.

This delicious ice cream shop was known for its great variety of decadent flavors and toppings as well. They also served cupcakes, cakes, milkshakes and much more. Along with its tasty food, anyone who has stepped foot in the vibrant store appreciates its bright environment.

Sadly, the store closed a day early because the owner ran out of ice cream. This is because of the extremely high demand of the last scoops of Maggie Moo’s ice cream.

Olivia Minervini, sophomore, said, “It was a surprise when I found out in my marketing class. Right after school, I went with my friend to make sure we got some ice cream before it closed.”

However, if you ever get a hankering for Maggie Moo’s again, the closest store is in Hasbrouck Heights.
